Got it went back up to his house and opened it switched on the ignition and it started no problem. What has happened is that when i took the alarm off and opened the car because i never started it within a certain time the imobiliser kicked in so thats why it would start silly me lol thanx anyway

Don't bump start any car that has a catalytic convertor.

Jump leap it using another car would be the easiest way to ascertain whether or not it's a flat battery.

As to how to open the front - is there a manual in the car? Also try posting on pistonheads as I think there's a fair few lotus people on there.
